Beautiful Days

We've been spending countless hours outside in this beautiful July weather.  The days have been lovely and evenings sometimes cool.  We've spent time with friends at the new park up the road, had Momma and Emmie tea parties on the porch and played in the pool while baby naps.  Emmie has become so interested in cooking these days and pulls up her little stool so excitedly.  She helped make pickles this week, wash dishes and make dinner more time than I can remember.  She also discovered windows and loves her box window and playground tunnel window. Lena is smiling and cooing, watching our faces intently and sleeping just a wee bit more. Praise God!
